A note-on event can lead to clicks in synths, which is often fixed by a
fade-in algorithm.
If the attack rate for a synth's signal is 0, the synth shall not click,
and still fade in as fast as possible. What is the best algorithm for
fading in a signal, that scales also with small buffersizes, like 32
samples per buffer (at 44100 samples/s)?
For example, in zynaddsubfx, we count the ascending zero crossings and
calculate the fade-in length upon it [1]. Then, an S-curve of that
length is multiplied with the signal. Counting zero crossings prevents
clicking on lower notes, and it makes higher notes more punchy. That
algorithm works very well for a buffersize of 256 samples (at 44100
samples/s), but it fails at 32 samples (since the zero crossings of 32
samples are often not representive).
Any papers, or experience with other synths? We currently need a good
solution for (at least) zynaddsubfx and the triple oscillator in LMMS.
